According to the 4th Discipline Evaluation of Chinese Colleges and Universities, the environmental science & engineering program of HIT was again listed in the A+ bracket (top 2%).
Certified by the China Engineering Education Accreditation Association, the teaching faculty of the environmental engineering discipline, led by Prof. Ren Nanqi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, consists of nearly 20 high-caliber experts officially recognized by the Chinese government or the municipal government of Shenzhen. And 90% of them have an overseas background either in study or work.
The environmental engineering program has established five national or municipal research facilities: State Key Laboratory of Urban Water Resource and Environment (Shenzhen), Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Water Resource Application and Environmental Pollution Control, Key Lab of Shenzhen for Organic Pollution Prevention and Control, Shenzhen Engineering Laboratory for Microalgal Bioenergy, and Shenzhen Municipal Public Technical Service Platform for Urban Waste Reuse and Energy Recovery.
The program combines science and engineering in a cross-disciplinary approach. It is aimed to produce graduates with exemplary communication skills, humanistic spirit and global vision, just as needed by the Chinese drive to make ecological progress. These graduates are expected to grow into leading technicians and managerial experts who can tackle with complicated environmental issues.
They demonstrate high proficiency in many fields including water pollution control and water resource protection, air pollution control, waste reduction and recycling, environmental biotechnology, environmental testing and application, and environmental planning and administration.
Our students and alumni are active in teaching, research, engineering design, technical development, environmental management and planning, and other jobs at higher education institutions, research institutes, design agencies, water supply and drainage groups, and many other sectors including environmental protection, chemical engineering, light industry, energy and pharmaceuticals.
